Bodyshop Query

When I bought my car there was a tiny ding on the rear bumper. I got it repaired and was happy with the job. A few days later a stationary parked car came from nowhere and I dinged the bumper again.

I then took it back to the same bodyshop for a repair(£250). When the job came back I wasn't happy as the panels didn't line up so I sent it back. The receptionist did make a comment about how many times a bumper can be repaired but they accepted it back as it did look pants. I didn't really say anything to her at the time in response to that comment but it has been on my mind ever since.

They played around with it and it looked ok for a couple of months but gaps are starting to appear between the rear panels. You can easily tell it's been repaired.


I'm planning to sell the car and the rest of it is in great condition and its a standard ep3 with FRSU and no Japcrap on it. Im not happy about the panel gaps...

From start to finish they have been good and I'm planning to call them later to sort it out. Im just not sure on how much of a fuss to kick up?? In my opinion I paid them to repair it and it still doesn't look great. I understand that a bumper can only be repaired so many times but its not my job to say when enough is enough and I wasn't warned about it prior or during the job.

I have a feeling they will probably say something about the number of repairs on it.
